Brandsta City Släckers: 'It's like we've had two jobs'

Brandsta City Släckers is competing in the Melodifestivalen with their song 'Rakt in i elden', marking a resurgence in their career.

Brandsta City Släckers, a band that rose to fame 24 years ago with their hit 'Kom och ta mig', is making a notable comeback as they compete in this year's Melodifestivalen in Gothenburg. Their performance on Saturday features the song 'Rakt in i elden', which has reignited interest in their music and attracted a new generation of fans. Lead singer Glenn Borgkvist expressed excitement about the competition and how it feels like they are taking their music career to the next level now.

This resurgence follows an engaging performance at last year’s Melodifestivalen, which was a pivotal moment for the band, reigniting their career and cementing their status among fans of the show. The group originally garnered a following among younger viewers, and now, after more than two decades, they find themselves performing for fans who might now be parents sharing their love for the band with their own children. This adds a nostalgic element to their current tour and garners even more attention.

With their return to the Melodifestivalen stage, Brandsta City Släckers aim to captivate both old and new audiences. Their journey highlights the cyclical nature of music popularity and how shows like Melodifestivalen serve as platforms for artists to reconnect with their fan base and explore new opportunities in a competitive environment.
